Roadmap
Now / next / later columns, WIP limits, deck export β the plan as an artefact, not a promise.
What are we doing, in what order?β 02Timeline
Milestones with P50βP90 whiskers and a merge-risk verdict; the snapshot compare draws the slip slide.
When, honestly?β 03Bets
The quarter as a blotter of stakes, odds and payoffs β concentration risk included.
Where is our stake, really?β 04Rank
Weighted-criteria ranking with a robustness shuffle β does #1 survive your own uncertainty?
Which one, and is it stable?β 05Duel
Pairwise showdowns when a list is too long to rank honestly in one pass.
This or that?β 06Map
Two axes, labelled zones, presets β position the portfolio and argue about placement, not vibes.
Where does everything sit?β 07Tree
Probability-weighted decision trees with expected value carried up the branches.
What is this path worth?β 08Why
Outcome β assumptions β solutions; the argument drawn so the weak link is visible.
Why do we believe this?β 09Wardley
Value-chain evolution maps β what to build, buy, or let commoditise.
What moves next?β 10Premortem
Write the failure story first, price it into an EV register, promote the real risks.
How does this die?β 11Fermi
Driver-tree estimation with ranges that confess what must be true for the answer to hold.
How big is it, roughly?β 12Gauge
Collect a room's estimates before anyone anchors it β Delphi rounds, chips, calibrated ranges.
What does the room think?β 13Alarm
Base-rate playground β how often a monitor that's β99% rightβ cries wolf.
Should this page me?β 14Flow
Little's-law throughput sketches β where the queue actually is.
Why is it slow?β 15Signal vs noise
Eight noisy quarters, one real shift β Deming's tampering and regression to the mean, made felt.
Did anything actually change?β 16Paths
The questions inside the plan β what each answer buys, what happens either way, and whether the question can be answered at all.
What are we waiting to find out?β 17Proxy Hunt
Stress-test whether a metric under pressure can quietly harm the outcome you want or one you need to protect.
What does this metric make easier to fake?βCase file
The binder above the instruments: paste each tool's URL as an exhibit and one link holds the whole decision β question, kit and verdict β behind a cover page.
Where's the whole case?β
